Summary: The Fanconi anemia complementation group (FANC) currently
includes FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCD1 (also called BRCA2), FANCD2,
FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, FANCI, FANCJ (also called BRIP1), FANCL, FANCM
and FANCN (also called PALB2). The previously defined group FANCH
is the same as FANCA. Fanconi anemia is a genetically heterogeneous
recessive disorder characterized by cytogenetic instability,
hypersensitivity to DNA crosslinking agents, increased chromosomal
breakage, and defective DNA repair. The members of the Fanconi
anemia complementation group do not share sequence similarity; they
are related by their assembly into a common nuclear protein
complex. This gene encodes the protein for complementation group C.
